Sweet Validation

Today wasn't so awesome, however, I did feel incredibly validated. I have always been scared of diving off diving boards, so I was not pleased that we were going to have to do it in my swim instructor class. However, I was not the only one. I kept most of my fears to myself, but all the girls and even the ripped guy with a tatoo on his stomach (ouch!) completely freaked out. It took a lot of coaxing to get them on the board and off. Keep in mind this is not a high dive, but a regular springboard. I am not the only with that fear and I actually was able to do it. I won't be joining any diving teams any time soon, but it's not as bad as I thought.
